With online professional development, local and international events, a global network of business communicators, discounts on certification programs and more, an IABC membership could provide the boost your career needs. Kickstart 2018 by renewing your IABC membership today.
- Exercise new skills: Whether it’s a members-only webinar, an IABC Academy workshop or a local chapter event, IABC has professional development to fit your needs and your busy schedule.
- Lose the weight of work-related stress: Work can be stressful. Sometimes it helps to have a community you can lean on. With 10,000 communicators around the world, IABC has a network where you can participate in peer-to-peer discussions, gain insight and share best practices to help solve your day-to-day challenges. We’re all in it together.
- Spend less and save more: Who doesn’t like saving money? With your IABC membership comes discounts on the IABC World Conference, IABC Academy courses, professional certification, awards programs and much more! Your membership will quickly pay for itself through these discounts alone.
- Enjoy time with family and friends, instead of working more hours: The IABC community is known for working hard, but we also like to approach things strategically. Whether it’s a Communication World magazine article, an IABC Academy course or something you pick up from a contact you meet at a chapter event, you’ll learn new ways to get your job done more efficiently and effectively.
- Travel to places you’ve never been and meet people you’ll never forget: Wanderlust. We have it, too, though we don’t always have time to get everywhere we’d like. But what if you could visit a great city and enhance your career at the same time? In 2018, the IABC World Conference is headed to Montréal! Join us in June for four days of networking, informative sessions and an opening keynote by Seth Godin. IABC members get a discount.
